About Raglan Area School

Raglan Area School is a co-educational composite school in Raglan, within the Waikato Region, operating in the state sector, with 611 students on roll, and an Equity Index of 453. The school has been open since 1866.

With 611 students on roll, Raglan Area School is a large school — larger than about 87% of New Zealand schools.

The school's Equity Index is 453, which is below the national average of 463. A lower Equity Index signals less socio-economic need in the school's community than the national norm.

86.1% of students identify as European, so the school has a strongly homogeneous roll. Students of Asian descent make up 5.3%.

On the isolation index the school scores 0.99 (high isolation) — this measures how far students travel and how accessible the school is, not how good it is.
